Trouble when you first get shoes.

[Print_Mafia]

When i first get shoes i cant skate in them, or rather i can but i cant do all the tricks as well as i could w/ shoes ive had, do any of u have this problem when u first get shoes?

[eddievanzant]

I can barely walk in new shoes.

[jlm25]

I've had the same problem with the reynold's 3's i just got.

[Print_Mafia]

ok well today i went to my grandparnets house and we got to open 1 present cuz we were given them their and i got fallen rivials, the black on black.

[spenser]

yeah, its because youre not used to them yet. and you have to get used to the way they react with your board, and your skating morphs ever so slightly to fit it so it works.

but, if you buy stiff shoes, thats a big problem. or thicker shoes, like most skate shoes. the only shoes ive ever had that didnt really have to be broken in before skating are rowley classics and reynolds 3s. i skate thin shoes, so i never have to REALLY break them in, but sometimes it takes a day for them to get used to the board, and for me to get fully used to them. but i never have shoes that are stiff and have to be broken in for walking.

thick shoes suck. and i know most of you skate thick shoes. thin shoes = reynolds 3s and most vans. maybe fallen chiefs too, and couple others.

yea this is my first pair of thicker shoes i use to skate bowls and longboard etc so i had old school vans ( the ones in ur avatar) u can really feel the board but im getting into new school and the brusied heels man o man so im trying thicker shoes

[00yzryder]

yea, its called breaking them in but also the accels i didnt have to break those in. the new dcs i got those took a while

[Print_Mafia]

ok i was j/w cause some of my buddies just get them and go but me it took awhile w/ one of my pairs of new shoes.

authentics are rad. i dont skate them much because the sides are so thin so it hurts if your board hits them, but theyre really fun.

[Print_Mafia]

yea mine wore out on the bottom from pushing my board there all holes all the way through.

[spenser]

i mostly bought them for wearing because i wanted some of those old school ones, but i always skate shoes that i buy even if theyre cheap oldschool ones that arent really meant for modern skating.

they still have lots of life left in the soles.. ive only skated them maybe 3 or 4 times.

[Print_Mafia]

oo they are a kewl shoe just to wear. simple but at the same time o so kewl. but i think ur right on modern street skatign they are just no bilt for it.

[lemonade man]

I have the same taste in shoes as spenser.

[spenser]

yeah doodz, thin is the only way to go if you want a truly good-skating shoe.

if you have sensetive feet, maybe not. or youd need some kind of shock absorbing technology in the sole...

i guess i have tough feet. when my shoes are almost done, the soles more towards the front could be as little as maybe 3 milimeters thick (at least with vans), and i dont hurt my feet.

[Almost Mullen]

Lemonade Man, could you post a pic of your Rey 3's? I want to see what the olive/black look like in real life. But if you can't thats cool too. Most people are freaks about touching their cameras.(Not saying you are, just when I ask to use someones camera, its usually no)

[skizzate]

Hmm I get used to new shoes once I step in them. I'll skate anything from manchesters to schemes. Right now I'm skating my lakai kingstons and they are inbetween thick and thin. That's what I prefer. Like nikes lakai or éS.

[Kickflop]

yeh and spens could you post a pic of your no skools now after about 3.5 months of skating? I just wanna see how they're holdin up. Thanks bro

they were done a while ago. i kept skating them for about two weeks after i got a hole in the edge of the sole underneath though because i didnt have money yet.

they still skated really good though even when they were dying.

and for the sides, if you dont use some kind of shoe goo or something, youll be screwed after a little bit.

you cant really tell, but the black stuff is covering a bunch of the missing material. there was a little hole, and there was a piece gone, and i also had a hole in the toe up further. i dont have a picture of the sole though, but theyre flat on the big pad of the foot and you can see the white of the padding through it because its so thin.

this picture is from about a week and a half before i got new shoes.

those are the shoes i *had* (tear)

[Fire_Freek]

I got some Rey 3's today... probably my favorite shoe.

yeah... I got my old Emerica's out of my closet awhile ago and tried skating with them and it felt really weird.

I don't really like thick shoes, not only do they feel like skating in marshmellows, they look like poop too.

[shift_Decks]

yeah i like my rivals but my reynold 3s were the best shoes ever to skate in. in a few months im gonna get some custom old skool vans

[Print_Mafia]

thts wut i just got, rivals

[tryhard_skater]

yeh thats the same with me spenser, my friends old rowleys that i was skating were like flat near the ball of my foot and really thin but i was ok with skating an 8 for like the whole day
